Verse 1

Behold the sun has risen,

I feel it warm my face.

Handmaiden bring me cloth of gold,

My finest for today,

To meet what lies before me,

I bring my strengths to bear:

I call upon my beauty,

But I count upon my prayers.

 

Verse 2

Today I seek unbidden,

A favor of the king;

Hand maiden bring me oil of myrrh

And all my precious things.

I’ll do my best to please him,

Yet know without a doubt

He has no power over me,

Except the power God allows

 

Chorus

I cannot fail

This work is mine to do;

I must not fear

What things I must pass through;

For God will not permit

His work to go amiss.

Has not He given me these gifts

For such a time as this?

 

 

Verse 3

I know God is almighty;

His wisdom knows no bounds;

Handmaiden, will you pray with me

That wisdom may be found?

Although my heart is willing

To do what God requests;

No knowing what will happen,

May be for me the hardest test.

 

Repeat Chorus
